dated July 10, 1954: Dulles threatens veto

Mr. John Foster Dulles, U.S. Secretary of State, said in Washington on July 8 that America would use its power of veto to block the admission of People's China to the United Nations Security Council. Mr. Dulles also said, at his weekly press conference, that he did not believe that China would obtain the necessary vote to be seated in the General Assembly. He said that in his view a two-thirds majority vote would be required to seat China in the General Assembly. Declaring that the U.N. had not been set up as a reformatory, he said nations would have to prove that they were able and willing to assume their international obligations before they were admitted and not afterwards. Asked what would be of the most value, a U.S. withdrawal from, or continued membership in the United Nations, Mr. Dulles replied that he did not think there would be any American withdrawal as there was no occasion for it because he did not think the Chinese would be admitted.
